Boswellia is an Indian frankincense that is grown in temples and also found in the wild. It produces a resin that can be harvested without harming the tree. This resin is used medicinally as well as in incense. It is anti-inflammatory and is often taken for joint pain and is hence considered an herb for vata complaints. However, research in Germany suggests that boswellia reduces edema in the brain. The herb is also an excellent parasiticide and should be considered for those who suspect brain parasites.

Take 1 (500 mg) tablet, two to three times per day with meals or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Not to be combined with COX-2 inhibiting drugs or immune suppressing agents.

Hair Rejuv, 60 capsules

Ayurveda teaches that the hair should be full, lustrous, and attractive. To enjoy this natural state, proper nutrients are needed to support the hair follicles and growth.

Hair Rejuv provides the nutrients needed to grow healthy hair. It is intended for use by people whose hair is thin or thinning, dull, brittle, or falling out due to toxicity or hormone imbalance. This formula contains herbal extracts that are about 8-10 times stronger than raw herbs.

Ayurvedic teachers differ on whether hair loss and premature graying are due to vata or pitta, but all agree that luxurious, strong hair is the prize of those with water and earth constitutions. Bhringaraj leaf is the main ingredient in all Ayurvedic hair formulas. It aids both the scalp and hair. This formula supports the liver's work of removing toxins and may be more suitable for those whose hair issues stem from exposure to toxins (as opposed to male pattern baldness which is more of an adrenal issue.)

This formula is intended for use by those with temporary or longer-term excess pitta. It is used to cool and calm the mind and liver.

Special notes: Ayurveda teaches that pitta tends to be stronger during the time roughly from puberty to middle age, the time when responsibilities and the demanding rajasic activities of the world are felt most strongly. To remain calm and centered, cooling and nourishing herbs are used to reduce toxicity and replenish depleted systems of the body.

This very powerful herb from the legume family has been part of Ayurvedic rejuvenative medicine for thousands of years. It is also an ingredient in many formulas for vata derangements that affect the neuromuscular system as well as libido. It has been studied intensely for its capacity to increase dopamine activity. It is popular among people studying lucid dreaming, but depending on the process used to make the herb, the levodopa may or may not have been leeched out prior to packaging.

Male Rejuv is formulated in a way to restore health and vitality to the male reproductive system. It uses historic principles for regulating nervous energy and increasing the production of male hormones and sperm.

This ghee is tridoshic but is especially useful for pitta imbalances. It supports the female reproductive system and helps to regulate the menstrual cycle. It can be used internally, externally, or in cooking. Excessive use may aggravate the kapha dosha.

Ingredients: Ghee, Asparagus racemosus.
